September 17, 2012

I have sent in my visa application to the Sri Lankan High Commission in Ottawa.  Now, it is just a waiting game for them to approve it and send it back.  They say you only need a month.  I have given myself over 2 months to get the visa approval.  I need a special endorsement as I want to convert it into a residence visa once I get there.

I have also started to make my last move in Canada.  As of Thursday this week, I will be living at my friends the Marions; my last port of call in Canada. 

There are a lot of lasts being checked off my list.  This past weekend, my friend Pamela and I went for a beach walk.  The weather was spectacular and I walked in bare feet on the lovely cool sand.  It was a perfect day and a perfect book end.  When I moved to Qualicum 11 years ago, Pamela, Blake and I walked on the same beach and would burst out simultaneously:  "We live here!"  Qualicum really is a magical place, especially when the weather is like it has been for the last couple of weeks.  I am glad I get to carry so many good memories with me.
